Be Stress Free.....

   Here is a HOT TIP for everybody.....try to be stress free during an event! It's just more fun that way and you also have a good night sleep!  Wedding, anniversary, birthday etc. How? You may ask, by doing the proper thing despite your budget...which is, seeking professional help.
For the success of any event, one must find the appropriated people to handle it for them. Caterer, Decorator,Planner......all must be given their duties! Sometimes when folks want to cut corners, they do some of the prep stuff themselves but never the very important ones...especially the catering. Even Caterers have Caterers People!!!!

A typical Nigerian wedding is very traditional. A Northern Nigerian wedding is even more traditional because we value our parents and grandparents opinions and they are most of the time very conservative with the rituals of the Traditions.
Hausa weddings are supposed to last for 7 days...Yes! 7 days! but Austerity has squeezed it to 3days! 3days with loads of events...

Our Northern brides have too many tasks and traditional rituals they have to do/perform (STRESS) in order for them to be the perfect bride in their relatives eyes but not necessarily having the great wedding!
   
Why invite people to attend your daughter's wedding when you have no laid plans for it's success?
It's true! It's not about the wedding but the marriage. But It's also true that when the wedding is a hit,meaning it was successful, it also shows to how organised and committed the family of the bride is, for unlike in the West where the bride and groom can just get married and if they want their family there....FINE! In the African setting, is not like that. Especially in Northern Nigerian! So with all the Aunties,Grand aunties, Cousins, Cousin's friend's sister, Mum's friends, Neighbor's uncle's wife that are telling you and your mum,what and what not to do....in all that stress and crowd, you still have to worry about cooking jollof rice and who is serving and what is going to happen to all the mugs you brought for wedding favors???
No! this is how you should be before the big event

at peace and stress free!

Not bend out of shape with worry and frustration

Because if you do.. you might end up sobbing! All those months of planning and all that money you have been saving towards the event will be misplaced in things you didn't plan for or things that are not priority,which is the case most of the time. 

So Plan to win! Plan for your guests to have an incredible time at your event. Remember you have to take a decision on the management of the event and stick with it! If you doing it at home, organize it well! If you are using a professional then be honest with your budget and finish proceeding and payment! Block your eyes from those Aunties and Mother's friend's sister and make your event a success! 

 STRESS FREE, be stress free......
